First ever mailday post - And catching Up - SCAN HEAVY

drob50 · Aug 18, 2011

Well I have been back in the hobby for around 1 year after having nothing to do with it since I put together my Fleer base sets as a kid (94/95) and have been learning the ropes all over again for the last year.

I have started collecting almost everything Spurs (as a massive D Rob fan as a kid) and sort of thought it wouldn't get anywhere as there are just too many out there so I went for just a DeJuan Blair collection (being the 09/10 rookie). I have posted a few of my favourite Blairs so far, and also some of the Spurs stuff that I still had to get. By no stretch of the imagination am I a high end collector, but more of a set collector, even when it comes to PC players I find myself going for mini sets.....

And my favourite Blair set chase.............. 6 out of 10 so far, with most of the hard ones knocked off. Only ones left are /250, /50, /50 and the last one is /10.

Please let me know if you see the 'Spurs' die cut Prime.

And more:

And some other Spurs players:

Thanks for Looking!!!

And watch this space!!!! A fellow OCT member is currently and generously helping to boost this collection.

Oh.... and here's the highlights from the last few breaks which have moved to the PC even though they don't really belong.

Handy pickup for the set chase!

Pulled from Retail... Yes... Retail pack

And my best ever pull.

2/10

Thanks fellas. I recently started paying more attention to the Maildays threads. Man its a great way to see whats out there, but it provides terribly expensive motivation. LOL

The single colour fabrics are part of the main jersey material - white, black or grey in the spurs stuff.
The materials with more colours are usually taken from either the edgeing of the jersey, or the sewn on parts of the jersey, like the team name, or the number etc. For example - the Blake Griffin patch is from the 'C' in clippers on their alternate Orange jersey.
Personally I think the best of getting a patch card is working out where it came from!

I think that is awesome, esp trying to find out where they are from!

But I was more referring to the background image on the 09/10 Certified cards themselves. I know I am only new to the hobby, but I just can't seem to figure it out!

Awesome mailday though mate! Keep em coming!

hahahaha
I thought it was weird explaining that when you have a sweet Patch auto in your avatar!
I think you might be onto something with the shoe thing though. It may not be aimed at that, but it does look a bit like some of the linings.
Cheers

Thanks Terry. Just busted 2 more boxes on the weekend and pulled a Bill Russell on card auto in one box and the John Wall SP contenders patch auto in the other. It continues... lol

And it would need to be some sweeeeet spurs cards to convince me to move the Griffin. haha

touchet! How the hell do you spell that?? who cares, but next Blair mailday is gonna be awesome! with a few patches, a 2/2, hopefully a 1/1 and a dual tag to name a few.
